Focus on lean management.
This applies to products, processes and the organization.

First of all, the path toward a lean company requires a holistic approach. We avoid waste. In every area. This applies to processes just as much as to products and the organization.

Yet what exactly is the difference between a lean organization and a conventional one? How do you achieve the transformation into an efficient one? How large must it or may it be? And how do you ensure that this organization supports all the processes optimally? There is probably no universal recipe for this, but we can call on something that is based on the reorganization and the support of the successful growth at Porsche AG: valuable knowledge – and methods that we have developed, tried and tested ourselves.

Keyword Management process: The key issue here is not just qualification, target agreements, KPIs and guiding principles, but rather it is a question of living out the philosophy behind them. Day by day. Credibly. Consistently. Fairly. And always striving toward improvement.

The value-adding process is at the heart of everything Porsche Consulting does

Thanks to a lean Product creation process (PCP). it is possible to achieve a production launch with a short throughput time and with optimal costs. The focus is on innovation, development and start-up. It is particularly important to involve the customer and the supplier to a maximum extent in the product development.

The lean customer-to-customer process (CCP), on the other hand, ensures the service will be provided with optimal cost, quality and delivery service. Just in time. From winning the order through final delivery.

A lean customer support process (CSP), on the other hand, involves marketing, sales and service and is aligned directly to the customers’ needs. This is extremely important, because in this area the customer decides directly about the added value and waste.

Support processes, finally, should be regarded as a type of internal service provider. They include the areas of Human Resources, finance/controlling and quality management through information technology. Their functions are the efficient and effective support of all value-adding and management processes.
